The Good Morrow

John Donne

For love all love of other sights controls, and makes one little room an everywhere.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Love makes every other attraction lose its pull, and it shrinks the world down to a single space that feels as large as everything. Two people in one small room can feel they hold the whole world. Intimacy here outweighs any amount of sightseeing.
